Something hopeful for Wednesday

I'm going to wait until Friday for an election update on the DRC.  Today I want to share a story about a young person who is working to help her family and her country.

Sahar Dinar is a high school student in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  She's originally from Darfur. This article, from the Chestnut Hill Local tells a story that is sad and inspiring and hopeful, all at the same time.  

And, as a word person, I can't resist... Here's the old chestnut: we can make a difference. Lives depend on it, and I think our humanity depends on it as well.
